Mexican traditions
墨西哥传统风俗
　　Traditions differentiate one country from another.Most traditions come into existence when people from different areas come to live in the same region.They follow different rules and regulations, and when they associate with local people, they form different cultures and traditions.People move to different places because of new opportunities in life.Therefore, traditions transform.Mexican traditions are not an exception, but due to political instability and the wars with France and the USA, Mexican traditions struggled to show a consistent identity.
　　Mexico is the 10th most populous country in the world.According to the Central Intelligence Agency, many ethnic groups are residing in Mexico.The Amerindian Spanish group constitutes 62% of the population.21% of the population are 　Amerindian and only 10% of the population are white.
　　These groups bring with them their ways of living.Therefore their interaction resulted in the formation of unique Mexican traditions.Moreover, the Spanish colonial presence in Mexico has also impacted various aspects of life.However, Mexican people struggle hard to preserve their traditions throughout history to distinguish their identity.
　　One of the unique Mexican traditions that differentiate Mexican culture from others is the way they give respect to dead people.They celebrate this day with the belief that there is no difference between the spirit world and the real world.The departed souls come to the earth to eat, drink, dance, and listen to music with their loved ones.
　　On 1st and 2nd November, people celebrate this tradition.They decorate their homes and the streets of the city.In this tradition, the families of the deceased honor their dead people by cleaning their graves and putting their favorite foods on their graves.
　　Moreover, they also put flowers on the fireplaces built in their homes.Furthermore, they decorate them with candles, marigold flowers called cempasuchil, and food.Mexican people have been following this tradition for years.

“A man does not know his true identity when he does not know the background of where he comes from,” says Paul Ninson, a Ghanaian photojournalist.Here in New York, thousands of miles from Ghana, he found numerous visual images of life in Africa, past and present, in the archives(档案室) of the city’s libraries, galleries and museums.This led to an idea: create a library of photobooks in Ghana to bring the African story home.
Deeply influenced by his grandparents’ storytelling traditions, Ninson decided to pursue a career in photography.He left Ghana in 2019 to seek a formal education in photojournalism at the International Center of Photography in New York City (NYC).There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks while in Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books.As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home.This led to his idea to create a library in Africa that held such stories.
With characteristic determination, Ninson began searching New York City for books to ship to Ghana.He searched secondhand stores, engaged in online bidding wars and reached out for publishers’ donations.He maxed out credit cards and filled his apartment with over 30,000 volumes.With the help from a friend Brandon Stanton, a GoFundMe campaign raised $1.2 million, enabling shipment of the collection to Ghana.
In December 2022, the local library Dikan Center opened near the Gulf of Guinea.It offers free public access to photobooks documenting Africa’s past and present.Beyond its collection, Dikan Center provides workshops, fellowships, and seminars on visual storytelling, empowering a new generation to reshape Africa’s narrative.Local artist Daniella Afful sees Dikan Center as transformative: “It has boosted art and photography, giving hope for preserving our history and making history.”

(2026·沧州模拟)
Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks.It is easy to defend a fortress(堡垒), but fortresses are not designed with the comfort of a king or queen in mind.When it comes to structures that are both fancy and well-defended, the classic European castle is the best example of design.Across the ages, castles changed, developed, and eventually fell out of use, but they still command the fascination of our culture.
Castles were built in England by Norman invaders in 1066.As William the Conqueror advanced through England, he defended key positions to secure the land he had taken.The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to draw back to safety when threatened by English rebellion(叛乱).Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks.Soldiers were gathered, organized around, and deployed(部署) from castles.In this way castles served both offensive and defensive roles in military operations.
Not limited to military(军事的) purposes, castles also served as offices from which the lord would administer control over his kingdom.That is to say, the lord of the land would hold court in his castle.Those that were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of the lands that they governed and pay tribute to the lord.They would address conflicts, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities, In this way castles served as important social centers in medieval England.Castles also served as symbols of power.Built on important and noticeable sites overlooking the surrounding areas, castles always appeared in the background of many peasants and served as a daily reminder of the lord’s strength.
Now, castles no longer serve their original purposes.However, the remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year from those who wish to experience the glory of a time long passed.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了欧洲城堡兼具华丽与防御功能,历经演变后虽不再用于原用途,但仍吸引众多游客。
5.How does the author introduce the topic of the text

9.【解析】attracts。考查时态和主谓一致。主语是第三人称单数,此句是一般性表述,用一般现在时,因此此空动词用第三人称单数形式。
10.【解析】which。考查关系代词。which引导非限制性定语从句并且在定语从句中作主语。
11.【解析】Declared。考查非谓语动词。此句已经有谓语动词,因此此空只能用非谓语动词,而且declare和主语it是被动关系,因此用其过去分词。
12.【解析】was built。考查时态和语态。事情发生在过去,而且it和build之间是被动关系,因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
13.【解析】annually。考查副词。此空修饰动词receives,因此用副词形式。
14.【解析】varied/various。考查形容词。此空修饰名词animals和plants,因此用vary的形容词形式。
15.【解析】mysteries。考查名词。mystery是可数名词,而且不止一个秘密,因此用其复数形式。
16.【解析】to be hidden/being hidden。考查非谓语动词。which引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是mysteries,主语和hide之间是被动关系,因此用被动形式。
17.【解析】as。考查介词。as作为。句意:有人认为它是作为印加帕查库特克人的陵墓而建的。其他人则声称它是重要的行政和农业中心,为居民的生计服务。
18.【解析】while。考查连词。此空上一句“有人认为它是作为印加帕查库特克人的陵墓而建的”和下一句“其他人则声称它是重要的行政和农业中心,为居民的生计服务”前后表示对比,因此用while。
